Calling Convention

Seems to be AAPCS-based (with modifications)

Overview

Inputs

  • r0–r3 : Argument / Scratch registers (caller-saved), inherited from AAPCS. If an input is to be placed on the stack, it will instead use the next free register starting from r0.

Outputs

  • r0-r1 : Result, inherited from AAPCS. If multiple outputs are returned (e.g., ControlMemory), they are placed in consecutive registers starting from r0.

Example

Result ControlMemory(uintptr_t* out, uintptr_t addr0, uintptr_t addr1, size_t size, MemoryOperation operation, MemoryPermission permissions)

Inputs

Following standard AAPCS register selection:

r1 -> addr0
r2 -> addr1
r3 -> size

As there are still more arguments, the next free registers are selected starting from r0

r0 -> operation
r4 -> permissions

Outputs

r0 -> Result
r1 -> uintptr_t out
